The real issue is you're using it sideways

If you purposefully don't use the divider, you shouldn't be allowed to shop there. Also, what the hell does this have to do with race?

Right? I'm not paying for your shit!

Yeah fuck that noise! You're supposed to wait until they accidentally scan the next persons items and then make them get a manager to make the correction like God intended!

Or you can just avoid that and use the divider so the cashier knows when they're done with your items...

Stupid cashiers.. I always put those separators on the belt, but they always stop me from buying one.

Is that a white thing? I do love it, but I don't know if it has anything to do with my race. It makes it easier for the cashier to tell when one person's groceries end without having to pay attention to who is putting what on the belt.

In my country the cashiers will place the divider beforehand if you forget to do it and while the current customer is paying... So yes, the divider is for the cashier not for the customers.

I put one down behind my items just yesterday, and the Black woman behind me thanked me for doing so. So there’s a data point.

"You ever notice how _____ people do [insert common, innocuous, rational behavior]..."

Yeah, this is trolling.

Someone will try to make everything about race.

Race baiting has really fallen off as a profession, I see.
